It's called Campero because it is the classical shape of the knife folks used in the countryside (el campo) when working here in Spain. It is a totally Spanish knife, included its history :)
As a french citizen I am proud of our history and culture when it comes to knives, but I have to admit that I LOVE spanish cutlery brands : Joker, J&V, Muela, Salamandra, Nieto, etc...
They tend to build very good models, durable, no matter if it's about producing folders or fixed blades.
Still found of their MoVa58 steel, a kind of 1.4116 with very good HT bringing it to 58HRC, it reminds me of Buck's 420HC quality when compared to other manufacturers.
But it's also about the design, the quality of the materials involved, the prices.
Gracias,en España tenemos buena y amplia cuchillería .
I ordered this knife this morning based on Aaron's recommendation. For $76, it looks insane. The sheath alone would have to be worth $35 or $40. And, the one that I ordered comes with a fire steel...it's nuts!
Hope it serves you well!! 👍
Started looking for a bushcraft knife 3 months ago... Wanted...
full tang, decent steel, NOT made in China, and under $50. Joker knives were about the only option I found. Bought the Joker Pantera and was so impressed I am a Joker fan boy now.
G’day from Australia I bought a joker 6 years ago all these years later finally got a Lynx based on your video you made a while ago. They are so good!
I’m moving to Australia in the next couple of months. I thought knives were illegal? Has there been a change in laws there? I’m preparing to give away my knife collection to my kids as I was under the impression that I couldn’t take them with me from the US.
@@onemetallifan5824
I’m in Victoria Australia. Always have a knife on me. Camping,fishing in the bush. Just not in the city as they are very precious and special people
@@onemetallifan5824 G'day mate, our laws, (and I paraphrase), allow carry for a lawful purpose, such as for your job, but does include recreational activity like camping, fishing. Just don't go walking the streets with one, lol.
Btw; autos and assisted openers are a no go.
Not sure how that would go in your luggage either, perhaps you could mail them to yourself. Cheers Duke.
@@timbo8486 G'day Tim, I'm in Vic too and you're quite right mate, very precious. The nutters are gonna do the wrong thing anyway. At least it's all good in the bush.
Cheers Duke.
@@timbo8486 or Fraser island, special there too. People have been fined for not having a fishing knife stored in the tackle box.
Thanks, Aaron, for introducing me to this brand... after watching your videos, I ordered a Joker Ember, and never looked back. You were absolutely 100% correct regarding the fit and finish... it's comparable to many CUSTOM knives! LOVE the leather sheath with the dangler, too... GREAT quality!
Very cool. No experience with Joker Knives, but a good bit of experience with Bohler steels like N690 and K720, and Sandvik 14C28N has become one of my favorites to be honest. I grew up in south Florida and live in the East Appalachian Temperate Rain Forest. I learned to appreciate a good stainless blade many years ago and with the right heat treat and cryo-quench the 14C28N is an impressive blade steel.
Over 40 years in Florida and have never once had an issue with a non-stainless knife. The terrible edge retention on 14C isn't worth the 5 seconds it takes to maintain your knife IMO.
Doesn't 14c have better edge retention then 1095 or other budget carbon steels?
@@Swearengen198014c28n has better edge retention than the overwhelming majority of carbon steels on knives like this. it beats out 1095, 80crv2, sk5, 1075, O1 etc for edge retention. while also being tougher than most of those steels except maybe 80crv2, and super stainless. you need to stop using cheap knives apparently.
@@acid6urns You shouldn't make assumptions. My most common EDC is 14c28n, a Kershaw Blur. And it's not shit compared to my cruwear or magnacut blades. One of my other EDC's is an MKC, so what was that about cheap blades? And you're wrong on 28n having better edge retention than 80crv2....It sure as shit doesn't hold an edge better than my Winkler.
I've just bought the Joker Compero for hunting. Haven't yet used it on a deer but I'm keen to see how it handles field butchering compared to my original Coldsteel Master Hunter in carbon V steel which is what I judge all my other knives against. I'm very pleased with the design and overall finish of the Compero especially considering the overall price of $145 Australian delivered. If Joker offered a Kydex style sheath I would probably have gone with that over the leather purely for practical reasons. Great reviews, keep it up.
Thanks so much!!
All I can say is that I have watched your Joker Lynx and Nomad videos. There was even a bit on the Joker Nessmuck. You made the choice for me to choose Joker. They are a phenomenal knife all around. It is hard to find something wrong with them. I currently own the Nomad. Simply awesome and will be adding the Joker Nessmuck soon. I wanted to carry the Nessmuck as I am from the Adirondacks and would find it honorable to carry a knife so similar to the one carried by George Washington Sears. Again, I can attest to the craftsmanship and the durability of these knives. They are kinda stand alone. I am so glad that you opened the door to the Joker company and that I took your advice. Truly the best knife maker out there. The Nomad is a beast.
Would you get Flat or Scandi on your Nessmuk?
They're awesome. Thanks for covering them. I have three and love them. I'm planning on getting a couple more, just because. Thanks Aaron once again for great content!
I bought a Joker Canadiense with walnut handle scales a few years back. In short, I love it. The build quality is superb, the steel really holds an edge and is tough, and it came shaving sharp. I did eventually put my own edge on it (just a bit thinner), because I'm so used to it, but it's really just fine the way it comes. And, like you said, the sheath is outstanding. You would pay a lot for the sheath alone to have one made. My only regret is not buy the micarta version, for the added texture/grip. I felt like staying super traditional at the time, lol.
Been looking at this specific knife for a few months. I am going to be picking one up soon. Thanks for the review. They are beautiful, and come at a great price.
While traveling through Spain in December of 2022 I wanted to get a fixed blade to help with cooking dinners and such, I went to a local hunting shop and found the Joker Arrui 9 for the whopping price of €27 euros at the time was essential the same value as the USD. When I first saw the handle o thought it was plastic b/c of the price. But the owner told me it was olive wood which is a very dence and hard wood, it has a full tang and stainless I was sold immediately. It's sharp but I can't shave with it.. regardless it's been a great tool. I wanted to see what other thought about its quality and I landed on your video. I'm now thrilled that I was lucky enough to stumble on a quality brand knife that will last me a lifetime and for such a great price! Thanks for the review of the other blades too! Best of luck with 2023!
I watched this video at least twice, if not more. I think your videos are what introduced me to Joker Knives. As good as Joker Knives are, I’m surprised i don’t see more about them out there. I feel that they are flying under the radar a bit. At their price point, they’re a great value. The sheaths are awesome also. I have a Trampero. It’s a pretty neutral handled knife. Yet when you slide the knife in, it lightly snaps into place. Colour me impressed.
For sure, they are so good for the price
Im going to have to get one of these, 14c28n is an underapreciated great knife steel.
Even Larin Thomas (knife steel nerds and the developer of MagnaCut) agrees. He broke down the composition to its chemistry and compared it to other budget ingot steels.
Its basically the best mix of toughness and edge retention you can get until you more into powderform steels.
Check out his posts about it specifically or his video breaking down most of the common knife steels in toughness vs edge retention on his youtube channel.
@@tarinindell8217 I do love reading knifesteelnerds, I felt pretty vindicated when I saw 14c28n was named the overall champ for non pm steel, always performed really well for me and I never understood why it wasnt a more popular option.
Joker makes several knives in K720 (O2) steel as well.
@@mmiller73 have one in that steel K720.....came in an oiled plastic sheath on the blade.....makes me think it is more delicate than the 14c28n......
The metal snobs are rolling their eyes. 🙄
Just got one the other day. Very impressed !!! For the price and quality can't be beat. If this company keeps this up, they are definately going somewhere.
I feel your pain. I own 8 Jokers including the Campero. The struggle to not buy a 9th is real! I want the Nordico so bad!
One can never have too many knives brother :-D
Greetings from Germany
@@mr.b111 I agree. I finally broke down and bought the Nordico in K720 steel. It’s my favorite of the bunch!
Hey, Aaron, I appreciate you coming around on stainless steels. It's hard to explain how important that is when you live in a humid environment. You're right about Joker. That Campero is on my short list for all the reasons you said.
Nice!!!
G'day Charles, I thought these might get your attention mate. I've had a Nomad quite a while now and the N695, (my understanding similar to 440C), has performed admirably. Not quite sure why to be honest; it is quite thick stock, high sabre and convex ground, but I suspect the HT is just right to go with it. In any case it bodes well for their other models too. Cheers Duke.
@@eyeofthetiger4184 thanks man! More confirmation!
Joker Ember my go-to camp knife.. And I use a QSP canary neck knife (14c28n sandvik).. So I hear you 😎👍
I've had Muela knives for years starting with the Spanish Army one.
I have 3 of their knives... Trampero, Bushcrafter and Nomad. I love them. Welcome additions to my collection. The only thing I did to them is wet molded the sheaths and added custom lanyards I made for them. You get a knife ready to go at good price.
This just oozes quality. Haven't seen them irl, but i am reminded of an audi car. they look simple, but the lines, creases, paintjob is just flawless.
still happy with them? Saw them in Walnut wood.... just hmm
J&V Knives, Cudeman, Muela, Miguel Nieto and Joker, of course...
As a Spanish guy I own several of every brand and You should take a look at Cudeman or Nieto too. You will not regret it.
For example, one of my preferits is my Nieto Chaman in Bohler N690co or, if I had to choose between any beast type like my BK2 or the Cudeman Entresierras for a humidity situations, definitly I'll choose the Cudeman.
Just saying.
Same... I own several knives from Miguel Nieto, Muela, Joker, Cudeman etc ... And I love them all. Great knives !
My favourite ones are the Nieto Chaman MK140 + and my Cudeman (I forgot the exact name sorry). Speaking about the Chaman I just got its neck knife variant : the Chaman Micra. And for a small neck knife it's beautiful , very thick and sturdy balade and has the same AN-58 Steel. I'm impressed.
Anyway I can't recommend enough those spanish knives brands.
If the knife were any thicker it would be a club! Still, it's not as thick as some.
I had a Falkniven, stupid thick! Back in the day, 100+ years ago people didn't beat their knives with a club, they simply gathered small wood to start their fires. The modern criteria for a bush craft knife, according to You Tube, is how well it survives abuse from couch potatoes.
Yeah man i live at 150 miles to Joker factory in Albacete Spain and i visited them
Its amazing the passion and love that these men and women put in her job....
Its incredible how they keep her masterpieces under 100€ or $. Great video compadre i have the trampero and grandfather and sometimes i sleep with one under my pillow😂
Thumbs up from Spain
Awesome and glad to here how cool the team there is!
And also Check „Manly Knives“ from Bulgaria.
The Manly Patriot and the Manly Comrade are also Hard to beat. :) in That Price Range.
And in the higher Price Range you Need to Test the TRC South Pole and the awesome TRC Apocalypse. :D you will love it. 😃👍
Nope, your 100% correct..and 14c28n is also maybe the best choice they could have made
I’ve been thinking about this brand ever since your first review. Given my respect of your opinion and the price I think it is time to take the leap. Thanks!
The brand is good just don't order the Nessmuk, it's dull and useless as far as a knife is concerned! Order any knife, just not this dull chisel they call a knife..
@@RamBowMike I respectfully disagree. I have the Joker Nessmuk, and there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it came very sharp. Generally, I love the Nessmuk design, so I will admit my opinion is probably quite biased. It does food prep, wood carving, and other camp tasks very well. I haven’t used it to process any game, but given how other Nessmuks work on game, I’m quite confident this one is up to the task. No regrets from me on my purchase of the Joker Nessmuk. The Trampero and Canadiense are fantastic too!
@@KepmukNesshart I agree the Trampero and Canadiense arrived sharp but the Nessmuk was like an old dull chisel.
@@RamBowMike Sorry to hear you had bad luck with that one. Again, mine came screaming sharp.
Thanks Aaron for the video. Okay, now I have to check this brand out. Arizona is mostly desert and most of my knives are carbon steel, although last year we drove to Cape Cod and some of the southern states and saw a lot of humidity and rain. Guess I need some stainless blades too. Good review!
Got a Campero and loved it so much I got a second one. Thx for the vids!
Great to hear!
Manly Knives Crafter or Manly Drugar or Manly Patriot in CPM 154 . Perfect heat treatments, BEST blade and edge geometries on the market!!! A step above Jokers, both in heat treatment and in edge geometry. Their Drugar, cuts better than a Victorinox (CPM 15 carbides) and has similar slicing abilities. Thinest behind the edge fixed blade, I ever had, gives not only great cutting performance, but longevity of that slicing performance too!!
I have to look intonit
Campero it is the tipical spanish knife, you can check also other spanish brands like; Cudeman,Nieto,Muela..
Greetings from Spain!!!
Great review! I've had a Joker Pantera, but it just didn't work for me. However, the fit and finish were flawless. I have the Joker Erizo and will never part with it, I find it to be the perfect companion and EDC knife. I'm buying another Joker knife today, and the Campero is at the top of the list, but I need to finalize my decision between it and the Montanero or Bushcrafter with a full flat grind. I'm sure that it'll be the Campero that gets the nod. Thanks again for the great review.
Finally pulled the trigger and purchased my first Joker. The Ember is amazing.
Awesome choice!!
Aaron, I just received my Campero, and the belt attachment is different. Yours has a D-ring and a simple belt keeper. They are updating these. My Campero's sheath came with a circular carabiner and a belt keeper. So they basically give you an accessory similar to the LT Wright dangler one.
Awesome!
Your feather sticking has gotten so much better. You can tell you have really practiced and it’s payed off
Hi! Thanks for the info, here in Spain we also have 2 more amazing knife brands that are worth to be checked. Cudeman and Muela. Both, are great brands with amazing steels.
And Nieto, and almost anything from Albacete or Toledo.
There are artisans ones as well, marvelous ones as for example jj Martinez.
Probably the reason I have 20+ of them. And they are all good! I also have some models in Böhler K720 carbon steel but where I go I usually prefer stainless. They also have extremely well made traditional puukkos in 3 lengths. All you have to look for is the BS-9 stamp on the blade (Grupo BS-9 are 9 professional bushcraft and survival instructors) and/or designed by J. Sabater. The Nomad and Ursus have the thicker spine for when you need that.
Just received my Joker Nordico in K720 walnut handle. Easily could pass for a 300+ dollar knife. My only complaint is the sheath
@@jhtsurvival Does that one no longer come with the dangler leather sheath?
What is the bs9 stamp? I have nomad and i couldnt find it
@@jimlahey5623 BS-9 means Grupo BS-9. 9 Spanish bushcraft and survival instructors who tested and approved the J. Sabater design. It should be on the blade near the handle. I have two Nomads and both have them. Maybe you have a very early design? In fact all my Joker knives have this stamp except the traditional Puukko designs. They are designed by J. Sabater but don't have the BS-9 stamp. Joker does make knives without the stamp, even pocket knives, but the Nomad should have it.
@@stevanoutdoor thanks, it is here :) what fo you think about the difference between extrema ratio which top models are in same steel as joker, n690, and it costs 4x more than joker nomad? Is there something special in extrema ratio?
UPDATE: I now own a stag handled Nessmuk and the Campero with Olive Wood handle. The first Nessmuk I received was a little wonky and exchanged it for another with a more symmetrical handle from left to right. The Campero does not have the fit and finish quality of my Lynx (seamless between scales and tang/liners). I wanted to note that my Campero does not have J Sabater on the blade and was wondering if you knew anything about Jokers that are not marked as such when others are. Thanks.
I’m really sorry to hear that, I hear mostly good experience and mine has been positive. I’m not sure about the markings. I would reach out to them on Instagram. Or email them directly.
Bark River Knives in Escanaba Michigan are awesome as well...
Have to agree. I have the Erizo, Nessmuk and SWAT. All excellent knives and sheaths and very affordable.
As someone that loves sharp steel I would go for the K720 carbon steel @63-64 HRC in the scandi variant. Thanks for the review, awesome looking knife!
@@LubberKing yep, if you go to Amazon and read the description it's all listed right there.
@@LubberKing considering that is where they are sold and the other info is correct... so I'd have to say that's the best info you are getting. But no, go on, you seem to suddenly be an expert on information because you were too lazy to go look for yourself. I do like how are trying to tell me I'm wrong though... When you are the one too blind to read basic information.
Owning a bunch of Joker knives , i must say that for the price is hard to get anything better . And that Sadvik steel performs like a slightly more robust D2. If you are considering about buying one , just go ahead . Just that seath of them of that great quality , for me is at least a 50 dollar item!
Manly Knives, similar prices, BEST full flat grind geometries on the market, better steels, better heat treament plus Kydex sheath. PS Made in Europe too.
@@greekveteran2715 I also like Manly. I have the Patriot at D2 . But i can say the fit n finish of Joker is at slight upper level. For example the kydex seath of Patriot has a bad design at the holes , i could only reverse the fixed loop at a scout carry position
@@panagiotissoufliotis6558 Λογικό είναι, αφού έπεσα σε Έλληνα!! Τώρα είδα το όνομα σου, πριν δε το διάβασα!! Καλή δύναμη φίλε, κράτα τα ακονισμένα, έχουμε περιπέτειες μπροστά μας!
@@greekveteran2715 Χαχαχα. Καλό ξημέρωμα αδελφέ, έτσι... δίκιο έχεις
They sure looks nice. And looks to be quality. At a decent price. That's good.
Ruike knives (pronounced 'Rake') makes a nice fixed blade model called the Jager F118. The blade steel is 14C28N with a 4.3" length. At about $63 on Amazon, it is a very nice knife. The handle may be a bit short for large hands, but the contour of the handle and fit & finish is very good. I have used it and it makes a very good camp knife. Seems competitive to the Joker knife.
I'd love to see a review of the Joker Arrui line. I'm curious if the bottom end of their line is still decent quality. Thanks!! Keep up the good work!
I bought two jokers the nomad and bushcrafter.... Normally I buy upscale knives but I took a chance on these jokers buying knives that I usually like to spend a lot more for quality... But these two jokers I got r by far my most favorite knives. The edge sharpness is beyond unreal. I have no high end knife that even gets close to compare. They cut thru wood like a razor thru a pear. I try to grab other knives going out but I always end up just grabbing my jokers.they r true outdoor knives. I normally dont like leather sheaths but there's r soo well made. Buy joker knives cuz you'll have ur best go to knife that surpasses yur supposedly higher end more spendy knives. Best knives I ever used.
I am tossing up between the Joker Nomad and the Lionsteel T5. If price wasn’t an issue which would you pick? And why?
If it was a straight woods tool I think the joker becomes if the convex edge. But the nose is very blunt and the handle is lower traction so if it was the T5 is a better all arounder
Joker really made very good knives...however,its very hard for me to leave my bk10 crewman behind....yes its carbon steel,but im always clean and oil my crewman...and complete all the task that has been given to my crewman..🤘🏻
I've been looking for a larger knife for heavier work. Something like a 6" plus blade. I keep going back and looking at the Joker Nomad. Pretty sure that will end up being the winner.
You said it for me with the comment on Mora,Martinni, and now Joker. Value , quality , low cost! Hard to beat for sure! Also LionSteel can be found at a rather low cost if you look around enuff…and they are fantastic as well. Appreciate the reviews!
I had been looking for my next knife, and then I remembered this video. I have a Lynx and Bushcrafter, and Aaron is absolutely right. It is hard to compete with everything Joker Knives offer. So I ordered the Campero in full flat and Trampero in scandi. :D
Which one do you prefer? Lynx or ember?
Man!! I have to say that spanish manufactures make great quality products! Muela, Cudeman, Nieto, Joker, etc...and you can see that on this video. Great value!! Sure you find better things, but much more expensive. As a great knife, desing to be a knife ( i know it sounds silly) Spanish cutlery is just amazing!
Hey Aaron, love all the work you do. Thanks for what you’re doing. Fox Knives carries a lot of stainless. And they’re really good. They’re a little more pricey. Yes, then the Joker Knives. You also have Lion Steel and Joe-Tec. I have recently purchased really recently they haven’t even been delivered yet. Three Joker knives. Looking forward to putting them to use.
I wish they would make a Micarta (OD green of course) version of the Nessmuk cause I LOVE mine but the walnut handle scales were SO slippery that I had to make my own scales and it was a bit of a PITA.
They are the flavour of the moment. Steel is steel.if you get the recipe,heat treatment right all these sandvik stainlesss steels are great.
Joker knives are excellent. I bought one for myself and got my son a beautiful bowie for Christmas. I'm glad we're getting in on them now before they get popular and the price rises.
Can someone please explain to me what's a point of having a thick knife like this joker and flat grind at the same time? Too thick for the kitchen and at the same time performs worse than any scandi for wood work.
I have many N695 steel knives and I can't reccommend them enough, great steel it is a very good 440C.
Whoaaa, GR8 news 'bout those @Amazon prices! AND, thanks for reviewing this vendor's product, as I've been looking but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
So, a shoutout to your video, & I'll be acquiring one posthaste!
These look like a great knife I'm def going to look at em. I just purchased a Jeo tec#39 knife made In Spain awesome knife. As always great review thank you.
I just got a folder from them that had broken scales, 2 rust spots and a jacked up knife edge. I have 6 jokers. I'm guessing the new guy made it and nobody caught it because the others are my best knives and I have about forty in my collection.
Yikes! Send that one bakx
Have just ordered the Nomad after yours and many other reviews on Joker knives, they absolutely fantastic and can't wait to receive it.
Keep up the great work 👍
Buen video, joker es una muy buena industria , pequeña pero muy buena manufactura y excelente diseño, saben lo que hacen y todo lo hace bien.
3:33pm eastern standard on 1/15. I just ordered this knife. You had me on the Nomad review, but timing and $ never worked out. You just twisted my arm on this review. Used your link to purchase the knife and Gerber fire 🔥 starter.
Awesome choices
You haven't even gotten to the Cudeman or Nieto knives yet...
I have two of the Montero models, one in a flat grind with tan micarta & red linners and another one with a scandal grind and curlybirch with black linners. Both came with matching handles on the ferro rods! "Never seen that before "Then you add a really nice leather sheath that would typically run about $50. All delivered to your door for around $120 each. I mean seriously, Muy Bueno me amigos!
I have the Lynx and I love it but a little fat for food prep (it won't cut my kids pancakes as good as my Cutco chef knife)... . Such a fantastic, beautiful knife. Will probably get a Campero but leaning towards a Nessmuk FFG right now. Who we kidding tho.. I'll end up with a Campero soon.
I have the BushCrafter, the Ember, the Lynx, and the Ursus is on its way. Almost all other brands in the same league here in Canada are close to twice the price. The quality, fit and finish on these are second to none ( and I have Benchmade, Casstrom, Esee, Tops, Cudeman, Mora, etc. ). The quality of the leather sheaths alone on the BushCrafter and the Ember are fantastic. I was showing the BushCrafter to a local Leathersmith and he was very impressed with the quality, and his estimate to build the sheath was almost as much as I paid for the knife with the sheath. Here in Canada we deal with a lot of humidity and the stainless steels are pretty much a necessity. The Bohler steel is a joy to work with and holds and edge. There is a long history of knife \ sword making in Spain and one of those places is in Albacete dating back to at least the 1600s and its where Joker knives are made today. Spaniards make good knives!
I'm watching this video while I sit here with my brand new Nomad which I am really enjoying. I purchased the Lynx while I was still waiting for the Nomad to arrive, based on your reviews. I'm patiently waiting for it to ship. It was the last black micarta model on Amazon. Now you post this vid and that burlap micarta Campero is really calling to me. Currently only one available on Amazon. I'm trying to resist the temptation because I think the Lynx and my Cudeman MT5 should cover my needs for a 4 inch blade. You are right about Stainless. I really don't understand the obsession with Carbon steel. I would rather have a good stainless that I don't have to worry about and modern stainless is plenty tough. I'm glad I found Joker because there isn't much comparable out there for stainless field knives, especially in the price range these sell for.
I just wish that Joker had a better dealer network here in the states.
Had my Ember, scandi in curly birch for a few months now. It's beautiful. Just had to oil up the sheath and strop a little.
I have many Snap-on and Bahco pliers made in Spain. My son just got a rifle made in Sain. Spain does some excellent things with steel.
I recently bought their neck knife. It's well worth it. Jokers knives are by far the best finish that I've ever had. Including Falkniven and Enzo. Great video watching from Scotland
Jokers, Cudeman, Muela we own all those brand at home, all from spain and they are all rop notch knives, tou can't go wrong with Spanish knife, they were known centuries ago for their sword craftsmanship and their knives today are no exception either, they are affordable unless you buy the muela magnum line, I jave the Muela Magnum 26(The Seraphim Falls movie) solid bowie but very expansive.
We love Spanish 🔪 , they are our main go to companies and we are big fan of stainless steel since we live in a fairly wet environment here on Vancouver Island so we don't have to deal with the rusty side of the high carbon steel
G'day Aaron, yep they're less expensive than many of my folders, lol. Might have mentioned before I've batoned the Nomad through Aussie redgum fence posts with no deformation of the edge and hardly a scratch. Not something I'll continue to do, unless in case of emergency, but If it can do that for under 100 USD with the bonus of stain....less properties and outstanding ergos, I'm sold !!!!. Cheers Duke.
💯 so crazy
@@gideonstactical in fairness, it was with the grain, I just had to know how far it could go, the price threw me completely, lol. Think I paid around 140 AUD, roughly 90-100 USD at the time. As it stands on exchange rate, this one would come in around 100 AUD + shipping. Sure very different designs but even your CS SRKs, Strongarms and the like, struggle to compete with Joker bang for buck wise.
Btw; prices are sneaking up here, I expect in part due to logistics issues i.e. supply and demand, on top of "normal" inflationary pressures. My point is; if its within ones means, probably pay to grab what you really need/want sooner rather than later.
I don't remember but the prime version of the Campero was a carbon steel k720 - olive wood and convex bevel a beautyfull version ....
I just received in the mail my first Joker knife, it literally arrived yesterday. I bought the LUCHADERA with a stag handle and Mo V 1.4116 steel I have no idea if it's a good steel or not but I love the look and feel of the knife and the sheath compliments it nicely it will probably be my new EDC belt knife and I'll see how the steel performs over time.
4116 is a German stainless steel that other brands have used such cold steel, and thats what they use on the pocket bushman which is really tough. As long as you know how to sharpen that steel won't bother you, doesn't hold an edge the longest but its good and tough (assuming it has a proper heat treat, which im sure it does lol)
That steel gets used a lot in high-end kitchen knives. It's more on the toughness end, but for an outdoors knife that's a good thing IMHO.
After doing some research on 4116 I would probably go with 14c28n next time. It seems to be an all-round performer.
The „Schnitzel Du“ and the „Schnitzel Tree“ are also interesting. ;)
The bushcrafter !!! My favourite manufacturer ....Greetings from Spain!!!🤷🏽♂️
Thanx for the review! Joker knives are very high on my shopping list for new knives! Cheers from a fellow knife enthusiast, youtuber from a village of Fiskars, Finland!
The Joker Canadience knife has the best handle of any knife made, in my opinion! (Better than Bark River, LT Wright etc.!)
Oh man, Aaron. Why do you keep doing this to me. I got my first lionsteel this month along with about 4 other knives. Now I want a joker. I'm really into the full flat gring right now and these knives are beautiful. My lionsteel is in m390. Another knife I got this month is the white river backpacker in s35vn. How does 14c28n and n695 compare to these steels? Thanks and God bless you and you beautiful family!
I just wish they would have a better consistent heat treatment, they range from terrible to perfect ...
excellent presentation. I bought one after your first review of this brand. I forget the model name. my nephew fell in love with it so I gave it to him. I made a kydex sheath for it with a folding saw attached. it was my go to setup. sadly, he misplaced it somewhere upstate NY while camping.
In Florida. Can't have a non stainless knife. If you hike or camp, you will wake up with rust on your blade.
I lived in Madrid,Spain for 3 years.The country is full of classy,well made products!Looking forward to my first Joker knife,something I can pass down to grandson.
I have the nordico and it's great .high quality fit and finish all things mentioned I agree. Relatively new to scandi grinds it seem like it's a little too thick with too shallow of a grind to do anything other than carving or wood craft well. I know that's where scandis shine but compared.to terasaur , Mora, or the bushlore seems less useful overall. Any body have a thought on it? Think it was a design choice or trying to add strength? I like it and am happy with it just less likely to carry it by itself
Sandvik steel is great. You can get a bunch of these knives instead of buying some overbranded knife for $400. I have gifted friends with Joker knives, and they have all been very happy with the heat treatment and overall quality👍😁
Lools like a good knife, haven't used them yet. Have you heard of BPS Knives? A little cheaper though in the arena.
Yes actually did a video on them a year or so ago call Blades but nowhere near the fit and finish levels that Joker is producing and nowhere near the quality of materials. But at least here in the states bps Knives is a budget option when you’re looking at him compared to Mora knives.
I currently own 2 Joker's, the Nomad and Ember. Both are excellent knives and I plan to purchase more Joker knives in the future. Great value and quality for the money...
I brought one back from vacation in the pyrenees. A great knife with perfect workmanship. And since the blade is shorter than 12 cm, you can carry it in Germany. I paid just 65 euros for it. The Sandvik steel is good, a Böhler M390 would be even nicer
@@LubberKing M390 is fragile? It is a high end Steel made in Austria. The only advantage of 14c28 is, that it is easier to sharp. And...compared to Böhler M390 you have to sharp it ten times more... Sorry for my german english. Edge retention of 14c28 is very poor
If you want a bit better fit and finish, staying in Spain you should try Muela.
Definately my kind of camp blade aaron. Ordered one, thanks !
Hey could we see a comparison between there blade steels if your looking for a video idea, I'm curious of the performance difference
Meh. The day they make one that does something my MORA Companions can't do for the price of a MORA Companion, then I'll pony up the bucks. Great knives, I'm sure. Just pinching pennies these days and i already have about a dozen MORAs stashed in every vehicle, tackle box, tool box, and go bag I own. And I still use my very first MORA weekly. And it still hasn't given up the ghost after well over a decade of use and abuse.
I agonized over the Joker and the Mora Garbro. This is my first Bushcraft knife, and I don't have a lot of money either. The Gabro is arriving in two days. My hand is not large, but I'll be working that knife a lot. The Joker shape is very appealing, much like my favorite kitchen knife. The handle to the Mora is beautifully designed. I would rather carbon steel. Am old school, and I live in a humid environment too! Go figure! It was a very hard choice. Might get a Companion too some day.
I live in Central City Colorado. Mother Nature is all around me 😊
That is awesome!
Great knife! If I didn’t already have a WINKLER I would buy that!! Have a great day!!
Joker or Mora? Could only choose one.
Agree on this. I got teo other Spanish. I got the Nieto Terrano Stainless N690co. Can be choosen in flat or scandi. For me it costs even less at the same quality. I also got the Muela Husky in Rwl34. Can be bought with 14c28n as well. The latter is more bush hunting type than a bushcrafter, bush camper. Both are awesome.
Ive been looking at the Husky. From what I can find online the 14c28n is run quite soft. Does the RWL-34 have decent edge retention? I have a Muela Tuareg on the way.
I'll stick with BPS Adventure knife. Fit my style quite well.Great review.
